YEREVAN. - The recent events on the Armenian - Azerbaijani border
line are rather concerning, especially given the fact that the
representative of one of the mediator countries on the Karabakh
conflict - US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is in the region,
Armenian former FM Vardan Oskanyan wrote on his Facebook page.
According to him, two factors contributed to the preservation of the
cease fire regime from 1994 until now. The first was the perspective
of settling the conflict through peaceful negotiations. The second
was the military balance between the two parties.
"The biggest concern of today is that Azerbaijan loses faith in
the perspective of peaceful settlement of the conflict due to its
none-realistic maximalist demands and as a result of its bellicose
statements and large expenditures on military equipment Azerbaijan
begins to believe in military advantage," Oskanyan said.
According to him, the danger lies in the combination of these two
factors. As Oskanyan has stated, Armenia must come up with equivalent
military and political response in order for Azerbaijan to stop
dreaming.
